Will I See You in Toronto?!?

Packing was a bit excruciating. As a PhD candidate, 100% of the conferences I typically attend are attended by other academics and, not to be rude, I’ve grown accustomed to being the best-dressed. Ironing my clothes has been the secret to my success. But I have a feeling the other bloggers I’ll meet this weekend will be fancier than me. You’ve seen my closet – you know I don’t have a lot of clothing (I don’t even own a dresser). Plus, I work from home most days so my closet is chock full of yoga pants and cozy hoodies.

If you’re heading to the IDS or BlogPodium or Canadian Design Bloggers Meetup, please come and say “hi” to me! These are my first blogging events and I will know no one from the real world, while other bloggers might already have bosom blog buddies. Here’s me:

Well, I’m off! I found some old CDs for my road trip, so if you hear this song blasting from a black Nissan Versa, that’s me (apologies for cutting you off):

I don't think I've commented before, but I've been following you for a few months. 🙂 I'll be at blogpodium as well. I'm so excited to be putting faces to all the blogs I've been reading. (And maybe start being less of a quiet lurker.)

I'm so envious of you!!! TO is my hometown and I attended IDS regularly before I became a blogger. It's so much fun and I know you'll meet some amazing people. Can't wait to hear all about it. BTW, where is home for you? I miss Ont and love hearing about where my favourite peeps live.

We're from Thunder Bay, then moved to Kingston & now the Hubs and I live in Ottawa. Hubby has asked me to keep our city private, but I've convinced him I'm not alluring enough for stalkers so I plan to chat more about our lovely city in future posts!
